And airplanes at altitude change -370 ft over 7 minutes what was the mean change of altitude in feet per minute?

1 answer:

3 0

We have that
<span> [the mean change of altitude]=[change in altitude]/[time]
</span> [the mean change of altitude]=[-370]/[7]---------------> -52.86 ft/minute

the answer is -52.86 ft/minute (<span>the negative sign means that the plane is descending</span>)

Answer:

a. x=8

b.Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(2x−2)=4x−4

(2)(2x)+(2)(−2)=4x+−4(Distribute)

4x+−4=4x+−4

4x−4=4x−4

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.

4x−4−4x=4x−4−4x

−4=−4

Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.

−4+4=−4+4

0=0

Answer:

All real numbers are solutions.

c. Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x+1)=4x+7−x

(3)(x)+(3)(1)=4x+7+−x(Distribute)

3x+3=4x+7+−x

3x+3=(4x+−x)+(7)(Combine Like Terms)

3x+3=3x+7

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

3x+3−3x=3x+7−3x

3=7

Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.

3−3=7−3

0=4

I believe the answer might be:
x = 28/19

Steps:
Expand
3(5 - x)/2 - 4(3 + 2x)/5

-3x + 15 - 8x + 12
------------ -----------
2 5

Find the LCD for the equation above:
(15-3x) * 5 - (12+8x) * 2
------------- --------------
10 10

Now we combine them since the denominators are equal:
5(-3+15) - 2(8x+12)
--------------------------
10

We expand above:
-31x+51
-----------
10

Use the distance formula, show that the points (4,0), (2,1), and (-1,-5) form the vertices of a right triangle

mario62 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula between two points:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Substitute the coordinates of the points.

$A(4,\ 0),\ B(2,\ 1),\ C(-1,\ -5)\\\\AB=\sqrt{(2-4)^2+(1-0)^2}=\sqrt{(-2)^2+1^2}=\sqrt{4+1}=\sqrt5\\\\AC=\sqrt{(-1-4)^2+(-5-0)^2}=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-5)^2}=\sqrt{25+25}=\sqrt{50}\\\\BC=\sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(-5-1)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-6)^2}=\sqrt{9+36}=\sqrt{45}$
